Quoted from chuckwurt:

Just played for 45 minutes like this,

Now that's some serious cooling!

Quoted from Kiwipinhead:

Just got word no more premiums to be made,

I had heard the same. Then I heard that they are planning a run in Q1 2022. Not sure what one is correct.

#11453 2 years ago
Quoted from chuckwurt:

Their supply chains are fucked like everyone else’s. Both my distributor friends aren’t even sure if they can bring as many games to Pincinnati due to the uncertainty. Sucks.

Man. Distributors not being able to bring the usual load of "show games" will really suck! Like Covid wasn't hard enough on the shows. Ugh

#11455 2 years ago
Quoted from chuckwurt:

And our show’s demand is crushing 2019’s. But we need to have games for people to play. Haha. I’m sure it will be fine, but I feel for all the manufacturers out there. The trickle down effect is real.

Hope things improve before your show. Still time. One of these years I'd love to attend. I will have to invest in some serious cold weather clothing. I freeze in temps below 55. Something tells me it's A LOT colder then that in December there!

#11457 2 years ago
Quoted from chuckwurt:

Hit or miss. It was 60s the week of Xmas last year.

We already have over 100 games committed to come to the show, all but 20 or so being from local collectors. So we will be fine. That’s not including the 25-30 tournament games we will have too.

That's great news. Hmmm. Maybe I need to look into if I can make it up there.

Quoted from kciaccio:

Agreed, or at least have them available when buying a NIB game.

Agree x2. I cant imagine many are not going to spring for the UV kit. Just factory install and tack on the extra 300!

Quoted from beltking:

Got a 55” Samsung Tv today for $380 but a tiny projector is $600 figure that out.

Easy! The 55" Samsung was not made to go in a pinball machine!

#18351 5 months ago
Quoted from chuckwurt:

Holy shit that’s stock on venom LE? Amazing.

Its just a sticker

#18353 5 months ago

Yes, stock.

#18621 4 months ago
Quoted from Deadpool66:

Just received my tracking now I want some
More.

For a pro or premium?

#18632 4 months ago
Quoted from ExSquid:

Hoping to get some idea of what's going on with the premiums this week.

I have been told this or next week!

#18637 4 months ago
Quoted from ThePinballCo-op:

Does anyone have a spare UV kit that I can buy? Otherwise I gotta wait for Stern.

You most likely need to order and wait. I ordered a premium UV kit for my game once I got my premium ordered. Should be made in Dec.

#18726 4 months ago
Quoted from Deez:

It cracks me up picturing the stern factory being like the North Pole with elves working OT to get all the pins loaded up on Santa's sleigh so Trevor can have his pinball by Xmas day.

This guy would like to have a word with you.......

#18811 4 months ago
Quoted from kciaccio:

Any word on UV kits? Anybody get a back ordered one yet?

I am still waiting on a premium UV light kit and shooter rod. I believe the plan is December for them to make them.

Quoted from Haus7878:

Just got the delivery verification for my Stranger Things Premium. Freight called this morning and I’ll have delivery at 12:00 tomorrow during lunch. Looks like I’m taking a half day off work!!!

I think we have a winner for the first premium!

#19117 4 months ago
Quoted from ExSquid:

I'm going to go cry in a corner over here.....

Our day will be here soon!

#19118 4 months ago

Just after I posted that I got the call that my premium has arrived at my dealer and they will bring it to me on Wednesday morning!

#19128 4 months ago
Quoted from RabanzZ28:Why does no one mention their distributor?? I’ve been on my distributors list for 2.5 years and I haven’t heard anything!!

Pinball Dudes - Jupiter, Florida

#19136 4 months ago
Quoted from PanzerKraken:

Did you call Dave?

I did. I reached out to him after Stern announced the new run. My wife loves the game and I told her I would get her one if they were rerun.

#19166 4 months ago
Quoted from kciaccio:

Any word on the UV kits yet?

Last I heard they should come in January

#19194 4 months ago
Quoted from Pmaino:

My premium is shipping today from the pinball dudes.

I am waiting on the Pinball Dudes to deliver in an hour.

#19197 4 months ago
Quoted from qbass187:

Mine will be ready for delivery on Sat... But I'll be out of town so I'll need to arrange something next week.

At least you will have something to look forward to when you return!

It's awesome that so many of us are going to have our games for the holidays. I was starting to think it was going to be January.

#19198 4 months ago

My game has landed. My projector was WAY off but super easy fix in the setting. I unfortunately only got a chance to play one game as I had to go to work. Will play a bunch tonight as my kids are coming over.

Build date is Dec 7

#19214 4 months ago

Hate to be the one who reports this but my lock is FAR from perfect. Ugh.

#19246 4 months ago
Quoted from ExSquid:

Only_Pinball Seems to be having some problems with his right out of the box.

I am, I need to go through and read the tips on dialing it in.

#19368 4 months ago
Quoted from C_Presley:

Locking the third ball seems almost impossible no matter how I adjust now. First and second ball are perfect but the third is no go.

Same issue here.

#19442 3 months ago
Quoted from herbertbsharp:

Build date October 24??

That's got to be a mistake.

Super exclusive ad from the Pinside Marketplace!
#19459 3 months ago
Quoted from Molon_Labe:

My replacement is on the way - wish me better luck this time.

Second time will be the charm!

#19477 3 months ago
Quoted from ExSquid:

When I get to multiball, the word JACKPOT lights up almost the whole left ramp but only half of the right ramp, is that normal? It took a good while to go through and get everything to be OK with the projector but the right ramp still seems off I think.

I am seeing this too. I need to go in an adjust the individual screens more it seems. CRAZY how off these come out of the box.

#19483 3 months ago
Quoted from herbertbsharp:

My default values on the screen calibration were kinda crazy numbers. I think it also has a lot to do with shipping and the mounting of the apron. I made the mistake of dialing all the screens before I focused it. After removing the apron, adjusting the focus, and mounting the apron back on they were all off again

Makes sense. I think I am going to wait till I get the UV upgrade in before I spend more time dialing it in.

#19554 3 months ago
Quoted from Svenop:

I wonder if Stern remaking stranger things premiums with projectors could be because they're working on another projector game

I think it's more due to the demand. That being said, another projector game would be awesome.

#19695 3 months ago

You are weird! Heh. I am having NO luck with getting ball three to lock. I emailed Stern and they never replied. For now I have it set to only lock two. I hope to hear from stern and/or try the bend fix when I get time to mess with it.

#19758 3 months ago
Quoted from Pinball_Eddie:

Topper question…..
Should the plastic border around the mirror be flush all the way around it?
You can see the bottom sticks or bows out on mine. I asked the distributor I bought it from in October and they said it’s probably because the screws are over tightened and to loosen them and it should lay flat, but that’s not possible as the screw holes are holes and not slotted meaning there is no adjustment. Even if I removed them all and laid it flat against the glass, the holes then wouldn’t line up.
Thanks for any advice.
[quoted image][quoted image]

That cant be right! I would ask for a replacement.

#19764 3 months ago
Quoted from insight75:

My new powder armor I just installed.

This is BY FAR the best powder job I have seen posted for any game!

#19833 3 months ago
Quoted from gliebig:

Where do you get the material?

Pinsider ScottyC is working on selling a kit thats pre cut and ready to go.

#20041 3 months ago

Awe man, I got all excited for a min!

#20066 3 months ago
Quoted from Yesh23:

Do they not install clips now?

Running theory is the clip person is on vacation

#20136 3 months ago
Quoted from Jakers:

The PinballLife kit matches the theme best in my opinion.

These look great! Will grab a set for sure. Thanks for posting the pic

#20297 3 months ago
Quoted from Svente69:

Just adjust a litte and use this decal to see the right path…..

That looks great!

#20313 3 months ago
Quoted from ExSquid:

I need the UV kit asap to keep my mind off of JAWS.

Jaws might be available sooner at this point.

#20394 3 months ago
Quoted from ExSquid:

I cant find my flow yet.

You are not alone. I need to get more time in and hope that helps!

#20464 3 months ago
Quoted from ExSquid:

I guess it depends on who sees your ticket first .

Or in my case, complete radio silence. WORST SERVICE EVER. I am done buying NIB Stern. I only gave in this time as I promised my wife I would get her a premium if Stern re-released it.

#20469 3 months ago
Quoted from ExSquid:

That sucks ! Even acting like this through your distributor ?

Did not have to go that route as the TK lock fix was found by everyone here. However, still crazy that they never replied to my ticket.

Quoted from DiabloRush:

Does "everything" include UV kits?

Doesn't sound like any UV kits have been delivered yet.

#21022 73 days ago
Quoted from tgarrett09:

I’m currently #1 on the global leaderboard with 3.19b.

You are supposed to play with the glass on!

#21054 70 days ago
Quoted from ExSquid:

Now for us Premium peeps.

Looks like my premium UV kit and shooter shipped today from Cointaker

#21056 70 days ago
Quoted from jackd104:

Fomo triggered!

Hopefully Stern made enough this time around.

#21059 70 days ago
Quoted from evileye:

Yeah I saw that, but I’m on the fence about it. I might pull the trigger and sell if I’m not in love with it.

I love mine!

#21100 69 days ago
Quoted from ExSquid:

My score compared to everyone else on the " Live Leaderboards".

$100 says mine are lower!

Quoted from SilverUnicorn:

I haven't gotten my UV kit from CoinTaker yet either.

Chris

Same. I ordered the shooter rod and the UV kit at the same time. They shipped the shooter rod but no UV kit

#22125 25 days ago

Anyone (other then me) still waiting on UV kit from Cointaker?

#22128 25 days ago
Quoted from insight75:

I think they are now out of stock unfortunately. It may take a little while for them to get in stock again. My kit had a wrong UL bracket and they did nothing to help me with it. I ended up contacting Stern directly for help and they responded quickly and shipped a new part.

Thanks. This is crazy as I ordered back on 10/3.

#22149 24 days ago
Quoted from chuckwurt:

Can you buy from someone else and cancel with CT?

I think this is what I am going to have to do.

#22187 20 days ago
Quoted from Scott-UK:

Any of you guys had an update on your uv kits from Cointaker?

I’m wondering the same, if they don’t have any now will they ever get anymore? And then why take orders for them?

I ended up buying one from Tilt and they shipped it out right away. I will contact Melissa for a refund.
